We will follow the Richmond school schedule and will not meet when school is closed. Story hour is a great place to make new friends for the young and old.

February and March Book Discussions

Upcoming Book Discussions! Each meeting is 6:30-7:30 p.m.

February 21 .. The new Tom Hanks movie is A Man Called Otto, but before the Otto adaption, it was the wonderful Ove in Fredrik Backman’s A Man Called Ove. With searching for the correct pronounciation of the Swedish Ove’s name, we will use ooh-ve. Do join us!

March 21 .. Jeeves was the trusted valet of Bertie Wooster in the books by P. G. Wodehouse. We will read a new Jeeves book written as an homage to the original series. Our book is Jeeves and the Wedding Bells by Sebastian Faulks.

Please do join us and contact the Library to receive a copy of the books: 207-737-2770.
